1 crop for farmers in Nzaui District Project update: April 2011 Background: Nzaui district is located in the lower parts of Eastern Province; one of the driest parts of the country. Farmers from the region have faced continuous food insecurity for many years. Indigenous chickens can however thrive in this environment. The Newcastle disease is the major constraint to keeping chickens which may result in 100% mortality of chickens FIPS-Africa through the support of KARI s KASAL Programme established a network of 14 selfemployed Village-based Advisors (VBAs) to help farmers get access to the appropriate farm inputs and information on their best management. The VBAs were involved in vaccinating chickens against Newcastle disease to prevent disease attack, and dyeing young chicks with Gentian Violet to prevent predation by avian predators. Vaccination was administered throughout the months of April-December 2009, June-December 2010 and January-February During the months of June-December 2010, the VBA s vaccinated 8,899 chickens. A total of 793 farmers (365M, 428F) benefitted. A further 6,645 chickens were vaccinated during the January-February 2011 period; which benefitted 223 farmers (110M, 113F). Chick dyeing programmes were implemented between May-August 2010 whereby 1,147 chicks were dyed. A total of 510 farmers (190M, 320F) benefitted. Farmers who had their chickens vaccinated did not report any death to the disease. In May 2011, farmers were visited and interviewed to determine the impact of vaccination on farmers livelihoods. Some testimonials follow.
